Installing factory dash clock for 69 Camaro advice needed
« on: September 26, 2007, 02:53:52 PM »
I would like to add a factory dash clock to my 69 Camaro.  What is the procedure in doing this to a non-clock car?  I am sure I have to cut the panel.  Any advice on anyone who has done this?  Anything I need to know to avoid ruining my dash bezel?

There are also some plastic tabs on the dash part that need 2 special push on studs to mount the clock from behind.

There are also 2 metal clips (with hole for screw) that clip on the top edge of the dash that hold the lens on at the top. (I have a couple of these) I also have a couple of the stud  tabs, although most of the ones I've seen have a push on clip that takes a screw to hold clock to dash. I usually make the cutout with a hot knife but a coping saw would work, go slow.

Does anyone have a pic of the dash bezel for a console clock but with the clock removed.  I have the template above but seeing an actual bezel with the cutout will help me from cutting mine up incorrectly.  Post pic here or email pic to sdkar@bellsouth.net

Thanks,

Steve

I will try and take the needed pictures in a day or so. What all do you want pictures of? I have my complete dash panel out so I can get whatever you need.
